Because the Blue Sea Empire remained inactive and allowed the demonic cultivators to push further and overwhelm several smaller kingdoms and empires along the borders of the Frozen wastelands that had managed to hold on so far, the one who ended up being the most affected outside those unfortunate enough to find themselves on the other side of the fallen kingdoms and empires, was the Star Shattering Sect.
Not that the stronger demonic cultivators dared to break the non-interference that subtly existed between the Star Shattering Sect and the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wastelands, but instead because the weaker demonic cultivators attempting to force their way inside the Star Shattering Sect increased along with the borders shared between the Star Shattering Sect and territory now under the control of demonic cultivators increasing.
However, this was still fine, as the sect's current strength was more than enough to properly guard its borders.
